Abdominal Fat - Dangerous Risk Factor to Your Health



Most people today, over 50% of adults, have excess abdominal fat. This extra abdominal fat is covering up their abs making them self conscious about taking off their shirt in public.
Most people don't realize that extra abdominal fat is a dangerous risk factor to their health. It increases your risk for heart problems and a condition called metabolic syndrome.
What is the metabolic syndrome? Abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides and high LDL cholesterol.
Metabolic syndrome is on the rise in the United States, if you have it you are at an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other diseases like type 2 diabetes which also is on the rise.
The main risk factor for metabolic syndrome seems to be abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. If your body can't use insulin efficiently your odds for getting the above diseases are much increased.
Reducing extra abdominal fat should be at the very top of your list. Getting that flat stomach is not only good for your vanity, but also it is important for your overall health. You will also finally have that 6-pack abs that everyone wants today.
There are no supplements or miracle pills that will help you lose your abdominal fat any faster. No ab belts, ab roller or any other of those TV infomercials ab products will reduce your extra stomach fat in any way. You can't spot reduce belly fat, it simply doesn't work that way. It would be great if you could!
The way to lose your abdominal fat for good is to combine a diet of good clean food, natural and unprocessed with a exercise program of mostly strength training and core exercises. You need to eat frequently to keep your metabolism running on high at all times.
Many studies have shown that exercise and diet combined have significantly led to more loss of abdominal fat than diet only.
Most people trying to lose extra abdominal fat will do cardio machines and combine it with a little bit of weight training, and maybe some crunches and then they become frustrated with their lack of results.
Most people don't reach their fitness goals even though they have the best of intentions, they try a new routine for weeks or sometimes months and give up after not seeing the results they had hoped for, often going right back to their old habits that gave them their excess stomach fat in the first place.
